ABORTION -- WHEN Does HUMAN LIFE BEGIN ?! The debate about the abortion issue really boils down to a question of WHEN human life begins. Many "pro-lifers" are fundamentalist Christians but are unable to quote any clear statements from their Bible indicating that human life begins at conception. [And most of them, especially the Catholics, are also against artificial birth control, which would PREVENT the unwanted pregnancies to begin with! ] They are apparently either ignorant of, or ignoring, GENESIS 2:7 KJV, which states: "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the BREATH OF LIFE, and man became a living Soul.". This Biblical statement indicates that human life begins (Soul enters its new body) WHEN THE BODY TAKES ITS FIRST BREATH OF AIR OUT-side THE WOMB. Therefore, if an aborted fetus's lungs are too undeveloped to breathe, or if an older fetus is biologically terminated IN-side the womb, then that abortion can NOT be called "murder", because NO Soul was present in the fetus. A fetus is like a laptop computer with a working battery but NO-one to operate it. Another thing to consider is that each of us is surrounded by a protective energy field usually called an "AURA", as described in MANY books related to psychic phenomena. A few people, including psychic futurist Gordon- Michael Scallion, and the late "Sleeping Prophet" Edgar Cayce, can actually SEE colored AURAs around people. The Canadian scientist Frances Nixon developed a way to locate the boundaries of a person's AURA. One of the AURA's main purposes is to shield out discarnate entities from a person's body. If an AURA becomes weak, because of illness, injury, mind-altering drugs, alcohol, etc., discarnate entities can sometimes invade and cause insanity, possession, multiple personalities, etc.. THE AURA OF A HEALTHY PREGNANT WOMAN WOULD LIKEWISE PREVENT A SOUL FROM ENTERING THE FETUS INSIDE HER. A Soul that is seeking to REincarnate into this world KNOWS if Its intended fetus is likely to be aborted before birth or terminated immediately after birth, and will simply STAY OUT OF IT. The purpose of laws in a free country like the United States should be to protect INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM, and prevent it from being violated by others, NOT to stifle it in the name of power, control, exploitation, ORTHODOX RELIGION, or the money-god. Any man-made law which fails that test is automatically and immediately UN-Constitutional, null and void. The INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM of a pregnant woman to control her own body must likewise be protected. If the "pro-lifers" would show as much concern for ALL People AFTER birth as they do for fetus's before birth, the world could rapidly become a decent place to live in. Robert E.

P.S.2: PASS IT ON !
